Quick Lookup

This is one of the most used features of
PSCFG. You can enter a partnumber, a partial partnumber, or
even a text string, and Quick Lookup will find any and all matching
items in the database. It displays

the full partnumber

description

the family/tab where you will find
the item

up to 8 price/supply values

if an option, which systems support
it

if a system unit, you can begin
configuring it with options immediately

The down arrow at the right of the
Description field is for the Show Details function. The Product Info
button may be active, with further technical information on this
item, such as a web site with a photo. Note the Configure
button at the bottom is inactive when the item being displayed is an
option. The Configure button only works if the item is a
system unit (current or withdrawn) AND the main/quote page does not
already have a system unit on it.

On the first screen, we typed in a full or
partial partnumber. In the second example, we typed in a word
or text string, and marked the box for textual search. In
either case the answer comes back in less than a second. Note
the text string search found multiple system units, across several
families. If one or more of the 'hits' happen to be
withdrawn, the search function would have found them too, and they
would be easily seen since the description is faded, and the
Description ends in "WD".

Note that some of the features of Quick
Lookup are available in the LenovoLook app for Android &
BlackBerry devices, along with some of the features of Needs
Assist. See the panel on the left.
